21 Years Ago . . . . .

Camille Anne Hinck was born on a Sunday afternoon in Logan, Utah.  Her birth came 1 year and 3 months after Dave and I were married.  We lived in a tiny little white house on a corner in west Logan one block from Grandpa and Grandma Thompson.  My best birthday present ever was two days later when Dave and I brought our precious little bundle home to our white house.

Here we are 21 years later honoring Camille.  What is she doing these days?  She continues to attend BYU-I and is technically in the second half of her Junior year.  But because it is a tricky deal to pick your major and then make it all work she will probably be a college student for about two more years.  She has applied for the nursing program and will find out if she is accepted in October.  Being a nurse has always been something she has considered but not until now has she moved fully towards completing her goal.  Because she was previously a dietetics major, many of the courses she has already taken are required or very beneficial towards being a nurse.

Camille lives in an apartment near campus with a dear friend whom she met last year.  This roommate, Sarah Clements is a student that I began to accompany last year.  She is a violinist and also an accounting major.  While I was getting to know Sarah, Camille was called to be Relief Society president in her ward and asked that Sarah be her counselor.  This all happened without either of us knowing about one another's connection.   After we discovered the connection, we both realized how blessed we were to know Sarah.  It is always wonderful to find a friend where there is such a close bond.

Camille continues to work at Circle of Love where she sells wedding dresses, men and women's dress apparel and  helps with tuxedo rentals.  She is a valued employee who understands the ropes of the business and is appreciated by her employers.

We love Camille.  She has a passion for life that draws us all in.  She has worked hard to develop a solid testimony of the gospel and relies on the spirit to direct her life.  She has compassion for those around her and is sensitive to the needs of others.  She is a wonderful daughter, sister and friend.   Happy Birthday Camille!
